The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1887-08-31

''my own State and Palsy Fairchild when
the Charleston earthquake occurred. Had
il not been for the gallant and self-sacri-
ficiDg efforts of these "non-partisan" yeter-
ans Charleston would have been swallowed
up and the COUNTRY would have been ruin
I'd. Joseph further prophesied that the
South would be swung into the Republican
column in q few years and that West
Virginia would be carried for the
Republican nominee 10 1888. The
eminent ''Don-partisan" finished his TRADE,
and Gov. Wilson was on his feet in a mo-
ment. The crowd began to howl. Finally
a semblaDce OF order was restored. From
wi at you have heard here one would think
that Gen. Lee had come to life and was
and that Gov. Foraker was here making
you q spec CHI preparatory to leading you
against him. l can tell Gov. Foraker he is
not acquainted with West Virginia poll
tics. He talks about the ballot box. Gov.
Foraker does not know that thousands of
Democrats were disenfranchised by the
Republican party in this State, and by that
disenfTanc bisement they controlled the
State. Some more about the purity of the
ballot. The Republican party comes here
and talks. Has il forgotten the fraud of
'76. Has 1t forgotten the nc en- il sent South
to steal the electoral votes of three States?
Has it forgotten Eliza PinkstonS When it
has forgotten these things then it will be
time to talk. Gov. Foraker is the political
bloody shirt conundrum. But tell him
that no President or Vice President will
ever go into the White House wrapped in
a bloody shirt. He talks about tie stars
and stripes. Thank God there are thirty
eight stars on that flag, one for each State,
snd the one that represents South Carolina
burns as brightly as the one that represents
Ohio. Now in conclusion / may say If
you men of the g. A. r. think yoC can
stand such scenes ard demonstrations as
have occurred here this evening, the DEM
ocTats of this State can stand them.
The counter spat OF this interesting erhi-
bition of truly "non-partisan" feeling was
short, Gov. Foraker confined his remarks
to the discussion of President Cleveland.
Among other things he said, referring to
the motto on the Register flag: l hope
God will bless him and give just appre-
citation OF the boys in blue, ana which he
is entirely lacking, aud at the first opDor-
tunity the people will relegate him to pri-
vate LIE.

bat he had lost bis notes and the crowd
did not want any explanations, aud yelled

full account of this undoubtedly inter
esting address, but as it could not be heard
on account of the noise, we are compelled
TO ceny our readers the pleasure of perus-
ing this gem of oratory.
The meeting was the most disgraceful af
fair of the kind ever seen in this city.
There is general commentator of Gov
error Wilson's course in defending himself
against the cowsrd!y attacks of the pol
tTcons who took that opportunity to insult
the town and the invited guests of the So
ciety.
MANY G A. r. Democrats tore of their
g. A r. badges yesterday declaring after
the scenes in front of the Register Off e
that they were done with that organizI-
ton. Some Republicans were heard to
express a like sentiment and many con.
denim the 6isloyal action OF the paraders
1t is not only unfair to ask Democrats to
remain parts of an organization to be used
as Republican political machine, a mani
fest anomaly, but it is an insult to their
